Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: cost effective
A lease-versus-buy-analysis should be performed to determine whether a prospective lease is COST EFFECTIVE in comparision to the alternative of purchasing the assets.

Please suggest a befitting alternative for the above phrase in the given context. My friend has been using Laagat Kushal but I don't regard it to be much appropriate as it amounts to be literal and perhaps does not convey the sense as well. What do you use while translating the same? Thank you.
